Come On Get Crafty: Hard as Glass

In keeping with the contemplations on stained glass, I was interested in contrasting the "feminine" arts of fashion, and its general recognition as a "soft" and "girly" preoccupation with the hard points of triangles because in the beauty pageant of life that is the female experience it really can get pretty nasty--- even when you are just staying on the level of shoes, dresses, make-up, glitter & gloss. I used flower---or are they diamonds---like shapes to continue the theme.

Our self-image and confidence and sense of beauty shatters and fragments so easily, like glass. Are we as hard as diamonds or as hard as glass?

I also liked (well, not liked, but acknowledged and appreciated) the symbolism of cutting the women into pieces to be appraised and assembled at the discretion of a consumer.
